One of the most common reasons to engrave a firearm is traceability. Firearms traceability is an incredibly important aspect of firearms manufacturing. The serial number must be clearly and permanently marked on the firearm, and for this, the best solution is laser engraving.
While traceability is by far the most common reason for engraving a firearm, there are other reasons why a firearm might be engraved. Some manufacturers, for instance, use laser engraving to permanently mark their logo or other branding onto the firearm. With laser engraving, the options are vast with many laser system systems supporting marking of most text and graphics.
Like one manufacturer, a U.S.-based leader in firearms manufacturing and design, who was searching for a way to permanently mark 2D Data Matrix codes and serial numbers on law enforcement agency weapons and found the Langolier 50 watt fiber laser marking systems. The purchase of this first system was so successful at meeting their needs that they purchased additional Langoliers to do additional laser marking and laser etching.
Another well-known manufacturer, Salient Arms International, visited Jimani Inc. in Oxnard, CA to see firsthand the power and flexibility of the Jimani Langolier Series Fiber Laser Marking Systems.
Not all manufacturers use laser marking for traceability, however. For example, a gun manufacturer used a 20-watt system to laser engrave a white logo for aesthetic reasons. The flexibility of laser marking is one of the reasons why it is so often preferred for firearm marking of all kinds.
